OR tables: well beyond patient pedestals.(Technology solutions: surgical tables & accessories)

Surgical Products | January 1, 2005| | Copyright

In today's surgical arena, a surgical table is not simply a pedestal on which to prop up a patient for a procedure. Modern surgical tables, even the most basic models, need to be designed to accommodate advancing OR technologies, imaging requirements, new surgical techniques, the variety in patients' weights and sizes, and the increasing trend toward integrated surgical suites and healthcare facilities.

Currently, there is no shortage of options for hospitals or surgery centers looking to obtain surgical tables. From basic general purpose tables, to heavy duty ...
